Why do Arsenal concede so many goals at home and not away?

Happy Monday folks - hope we're all fine and dandy? I kicked off a booze free few weeks yesterday (well, technically because of the COVID it was from Tuesday last week, but I'm not counting that just yet) and so I've woken up this morning without a fuzzy head and that, dear friends, is pretty [...]

Timber blow means Arsenal need to have a rethink

I want to talk more about Arsenal related stuff and I of course will do that today, but before that let's take a moment to recognise the incompetence of the refereeing in last night's game at Old Trafford. Quite how Simon Hooper and his VAR officials didn't come to a conclusion that Wolves should have [...]

Arsenal’s London bus approach to transfers as Kiwior is on the verge…

You wait all January for a shiny new player, then two come along in the space of 48 hours! Well, sort of... That's because yesterday as we were just starting to read all the #content in relation to Leandro Trossard, then out of nowhere we get an Ornbomb on Jakub Kiwior from Spezia. I'll come [...]

Arsenal to show a newly promoted side they are a different beast today?

Morning folks and happy match day to you. Well, hopefully it's a happy match day, because let's face it, if Arsenal lose today we'll all be grumpy as sin come full time, quite unbearable for our partners or family and generally have a crappy rest of the Saturday. So it's a 'happy match day' until [...]

A very different Arsenal to line up against Brentford this time?

It's match day people! And it is the reverse of the opening game of the season, in which we succumbed to an excitable and motivated Brentford side who took advantage of our mixture of injuries and COVID situation in the Arsenal camp, to overcome us 2-0 in their new stadium. I drove past their stadium [...]

Banish the bad taste of defeat by beating Newcastle today, Arsenal

Morning folks and welcome to Saturday, with an early kick off and an opportunity for Arsenal to try to banish the bad taste of last weekend's battering at the hands of Liverpool. Newcastle are bottom of the league, haven't won a game yet, don't have a great record against us at the Emirates and last [...]

Be aggressive and go for goals against Olympiakos

Morning folks and welcome to another match day, only this one is a definite match day with a lot more riding on it than most, as we face up against Olympiakos in Athens this evening. It is not only a familiar ground - having played there as our 'home' game in the last round - [...]

Time for an Arsenal reboot – post match Brighton thoughts

Blimey. Where do we even start this morning? What an utter car crash is going on at the club and unfortunately for Mikel, even his driving skills can’t rectify what is a completely broken team. Almost ‘literally’ given that we’ve probably lost Leno for the season - maybe beyond - now. Neil Maupay telling the [...]

Auba’s rage is right, but should be at both defence AND Emery

In the aftermath of Sunday's pathetic second half capitulation many people wondered aloud on social media what Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang made of our shambles of a defence. After all, he'd done his bit by scoring two goals, yet still we couldn't come away with the victory that we should have given the respective quality of the [...]

Emery says something, which isn’t anything; back to basics Arsenal

After a day in which Unai Emery has had a press conference ahead of a game I like to have a little read over his comments on the official website to see if there's anything that I can glean that gives an insight in to how the team will set up in the upcoming match. [...]
